Acer

-----------------------Personal Info:-----------------------Name: AcerNickname: N/AAge: ~250 yearsGender: MaleSexuality: StraightSpecies: Desert DragonAlignment: Neutral-----------------------Clan:-----------------------Clan: N/ARank: N/A-----------------------Appearance:-----------------------Height: When he stands on all four, with a straight neck and tucked in wings, he stands up to 8 meters(~26 ft)Skin/Fur/Scales, Etc.: As a dragon born in the desert, he is equipped with the matching scale colour. His scales are generally a shade of light yellow-beige, the colour of sand, mottled with darker and brighter specks.Eyes: His pupil is black, and the colours surrounding it are shades of lime green.Looks: Acer has a moderately large, but streamlined body, and a large, long, tail that is longer than his body and neck combined. His neck is a moderate size, in both length and width(Width is the same as width of skull, length 1.5 times as long). He wears a steel Helmet covering the top half of his head, and the upper part of his neck, that has a visor. He wears armour in other places, such as his back, front part of tail, chest, and feet. A sharp metal blade is mounted on the tip of his tail.Extra:----------------------Specialties:----------------------Hobbies/skills: Acer enjoys hunting animals in his spare time. Acer is also a skilled and experienced fighter due to his background as a soldier.Strengths: While having a somewhat small stature for a dragon, he uses this to his advantage, being agile and fast. His tail allows him to stay incredibly balanced at all times.Weaknesses: Acer is weak mentally, and has many pockets and crevices in his mental stability that trigger him, or leave him shivering within the confines of his own imagination, too frightened, angry, or saddened to respond physically.He is horrible at being stealthy when wearing armour(Yeah, blame the armour!) and will attract any dragon's attention attempting to sneak up on them to fight. Because of his light weight and small size, he can't take many powerful hits without being knocked out or injured.Accessories: He wears a steel Helmet covering the top half of his head, and the upper part of his neck, that has a visor. He wears armour in other places, such as his back, front part of tail, chest, and feet. A sharp metal blade is mounted on the tip of his tail.Special abilities: Acer has a very powerful fire breath. He can fire a blast 20 meters ahead of himself up to a temperature of 1,600 degrees Celsius(After performing a powerful blast, he can only use a weakened fire breath or none at all). This fire can also help disrupt magical influences of any kind.Attacks: Normally Acer uses his sharp claws in combat, raking or swatting his enemies as he charges past. He rarely uses his fire breath when not necessary. Combat style: Acer takes advantage of his speed and agility to dish out severe damage using fire and claws, while taking little himself. His thick helmet usually always is at the front of his charge when attacking.---------------------Personality:---------------------Personality: Acer is a graceful dragon, but a stone cold warrior. He attempts to conceal any and all facts about his early history, and is unforgiving and aggressive towards strangers. Inside, when he is alone, he is sorrowful, and friendly, but unwillingly to trust openly. If he deems a dragon or creature to be kind or trustworthy enough, he will still try to befriend them, though.Acer is very territorial, and chases off anything except prey he finds in areas he becomes fond of, or hunts in.If he needs to fight another dragon or creature, he will, ,easily. He isn't scared of combat - but rarely will he kill another dragon, preferring to make them flee. Likes: Acer enjoys hunting animals in his spare time, running, climbing, and being aloneDislikes: Acer will steer away from killing another dragon, no matter how much he might feel offended by another dragon. He despises creatures who betray him, though, or take advantage of his trust, he may even go to lengths as to hunt and kill them. He is not fond of exposing himself to others, or showing weakness. Being insulted or meddled with will strike anger in him.Fears: Most of all, Acer fears the loss of a creature he loves, or has strongly bonded with. He also hates flies. Flies buzzing all around his head, getting in his food, laying their nasty eggs in all sorts of things. ---------------------Family:---------------------Parents: UnknownMate: N/AOffspring: N/ARelative: N/ABrothers/sisters: N/A---------------------History: Acer was originally found far away from The Beyond, by a human village.All the desert dragons had taken leave to migrate. Unfortunately, Acer was left behind by his parents. A small village that had been settled just off the border of the desert sent out daily patrols around the area. Naturally, when they were patrolling the deserts, the glow of the cave attracted their interest, knowing that it wasn't a dragon - they had all migrated, surely.Acer's egg was found by itself, illuminating the cave from a brilliant glow coming from inside the shell. Thankfully for Acer(They considered dissecting him once he hatched or eating him!), a boy stepped up and gladly adopted the dragon, with hesitation from his father.The dragon and the human boy grew up together over the next 20 years(Oh, and the boy's name was Navine, but his story is for another thing.), and the next thing they knew, they were serving under the human leader of the area. They joined the humble human army to fight other humans.Acer was granted his armour by the commander, but otherwise, once again in Acer's life, the humans didn't know what to do with him. Acer and Navine later left the human Military and adventured throughout the world for some time, and Acer fell in love with a female Earthwing-type dragon, called Lapisia, an orphan dragon from the other side of the territories.Acer, Lapisia, and Navine returned the village, and lived peacefully for a year. Acer was the only dragon the area of human settlements had, and the enemy prioritised him. They convinced Lapisia, tricked her, into drawing Acer and Navine into an ambush.Navine was killed in the ambush, and bled out in front of Acer. For a century after that, Acer traveled the world, before settling down in a desert in the corner of the world.
